[8] Bil: This name is derived from bil n. ‘moment, twinkling of an eye’ (AEW: Bil). According to Gylf (SnE 2005, 14), Bil is the companion of Máni (the moon). She is one of the two human children abducted by Máni, but she is included among the Ásynjur (see also Oddrgr 33/3). The name frequently occurs in skaldic kennings.
